Ferrari just made a unique, a one-off Ferrari Daytona SP3 sports which is a wild two-tone livery that’s part racing heritage, part modern art experiment & the result is pure delight.
Ferrari Daytona SP3 Auction
This one off is Heading to auction during Monterey Car Week, every dollar raised goes to The Ferrari Foundation’s educational projects, including rebuilding a California school destroyed in recent wildfires. Sometimes the most exclusive cars end up doing the best.
- Numbered 599+1, featuring exposed carbon fiber paired with Giallo Modena yellow in Ferrari’s boldest livery yet
- Interior uses fabric made from recycled tires, plus actual Formula 1-spec carbon on the dash and steering column
- All proceeds support Ferrari Foundation projects, including rebuilding wildfire-damaged Aveson Charter School in California
A Paint Job That Breaks Every Ferrari Rule
Looking at the photos Ferrari released, your first reaction is probably “wait, what?” The entire upper body is covered in Ferrari logotype graphics, not badges or small decals, but the actual word “Ferrari” is not entirely missing you can find it repeated across every panel in bright Giallo Modena yellow. Nobody asked for this, and yet seeing it executed makes you wonder why Ferrari hasn’t been bolder with their graphics before.
The exposed carbon fiber creates dramatic contrast zones, the gloss black accents on the splitter, sills, and rear diffuser make things even more appealing. It’s the kind of design that could easily tip into gaudy territory, but Ferrari has done such a meticulous job, that the result looks more like a rolling art installation than your typical supercar.
Same Beast, Different Clothes
All this visual delight sits on top of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 which produces 840 horsepower at a screaming 9,250 rpm, which is expected to deliver the kind of linear, explosive power delivery that’s becoming genuinely rare in our turbocharged world.
The numbers remain impressive: 0-62 mph in 2.85 seconds, 0-124 mph in 7.4 seconds, top speed over 211 mph. The V12 delivers its fury with a soundtrack that justifies the price tag by itself.
Ferrari Daytona SP3 Interior
Here’s where the sustainability story gets interesting. That interior fabric used in this Daytona is literally made from recycled tires, complete with a woven Prancing Horse pattern.
The dashboard and steering column feature carbon fiber sourced directly from Formula 1 applications. F1 carbon is manufactured to different standards than regular automotive-grade stuff, tighter weave patterns, more precise resin application, though this show thoughtful design work and engineering but in real world these details generally matter more to engineers than drivers.

The Daytona SP3 represents the second chapter in Ferrari’s Icona series, following the Monza SP1 and SP2. The concept works because Ferrari avoids simply copying old designs, instead, they distill the essence of 1960s sports prototypes into something that uses today’s materials and safety technology.
Charity with Impact
What sets this auction apart is how Ferrari has tied it to specific, tangible projects. The recent contribution to rebuild Altadena’s Aveson Charter School, completely destroyed in the Eaton Wildfire, addresses immediate, real-world needs rather than vague charitable concepts.
The Ferrari Foundation focuses on educational initiatives that align with the company’s long-term thinking.
Market Reality
Will this one-off command a premium over regular Daytona SP3 values? Almost certainly. Recent Icona series sales have consistently exceeded original pricing, and this example adds charitable provenance plus that special “599+1” numbering. Collectors chase exclusivity above all else, and you can’t get more exclusive than one-of-one.
The irony is that this car, designed to raise money for education, will probably spend most of its life in climate-controlled storage rather than inspiring young automotive enthusiasts. Such is the nature of ultra-limited Ferraris.
The Bigger Picture
This charity Daytona SP3 proves that sometimes the most interesting Ferraris are the ones that break convention. The recycled tire fabric and F1-spec carbon show Ferrari thinking about materials innovation, while that bold livery demonstrates they’re not afraid to experiment with their visual identity.
Whether this influences future Ferrari special editions remains to be seen. But whatever the final hammer price, this one-off proves that Ferrari’s most exclusive products can serve purposes beyond just making their owners feel special. Sometimes that’s worth celebrating, even if the car will likely disappear into a private collection shortly after the gavel falls.
